Arielle

Simply put: I'm complicated...

About Me

The unbroken spirit, obscured and disquiet
finds clearness this trial demands.
By the end of this day he sighs an anxious relief
for the fortune lies still in his hands.
If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year
a man must learn to cope.
If his obsession's real
suppression that he feels must turn to hope.

Life is no more assuring than love.
Take the Time / Dream Theater

My Interests

• The Arts (Poetry, Music, Painting)• Sports (Football/Soccer, Basketball, Badminton, Gym Climbing)• Dating (A quiet coffee shop inside a mall or a day at the beach... preferably with another smoker, asteeg!)• XHTML/CSS (I've turned into an internet freak! Yeah, I'm a geek... a very unlikely turn of events but it's happened)

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has an attitude (better if it's an attitude problem): people who have drama in their lives; people whose existance is anything but mediocre no matter how menial the things they do are. People who can see and appreciate the complexities of the simplest things-- and the simplest people.

Naks! Seryoso ba masyado? If you have a sense of humor (toilet, bathroom, or casillas-- it doesn't matter), I'd be glad to have you as a friend.

But for people who have an "altitude problem"... stay away from me.

Goodbye Eckman

The guys from the city pound came this afternoon and they've taken Eckman away. I feel really bad. He had not always been such a monster and he is actually a nice dog most of the time. But he has bitt...

Famous Last Words

Finally, I've found a copy of the Sowing The Seeds Of Love album by Tears For Fears somewhere. And to be very honest, I was quite teary-eyed from the time I booted up my Amarok until Famous Last Words...
